When Dr. Carr said that ex-slaves started to go looking for their families after they left the plantations just broke my heart. The notion of seeing your children, your mother, your father, your husband or wife sold off like a sack of grain is simply unconscionable.
Thank you so . much for doing this for our culture. It is up to us to educate ourselves, take pride in our people and ourselves and teach the young! My question is this, what books would you recommend young blacks (11 -16) to read?
4 года назад+2
Yes, they even put advertisements in the newspapers in cities they had been sold from, looking for their children.
It gave me chills. I definitely share that heartbreak. As a native Texan (from the soil of Mosier Valley - historical North Texas Freeman community) that is able to trace my mother's lineage to the inception of The Republic of Texas, I KNOW some of my ancestors were left in Tennessee and Missouri. As for Watchnight and Emancipation Day, Dr. Carr is absolutely right! My father is from the Bahamas and we celebrate them both! It's all over the Caribbean! This conversation was near and dear to my heart! Thank you so much Dr. Carr and Prof. Hunter!! Well done! 👍🏽
I am 57 years old and almost in tears listening to you two talk about this topic ; I love this knowledge..: I will just say it is a cathartic moment in my Black life in Amerikkka.
this is why we should have had different schools for blacks and whites to learn from neither of us should have had to suffer thru these people like these on here! no way! we go to school to learn. we stay home to play!
Karen Hunter Show they may not let you lol. But, make a sign up for those days and share it. It may be that you’re only able to hold 250-500 people. But, my advice is to schedule several “classes” and have our people sign up!
I would pay for a class like this from Ms. Hunter and Dr. Carr. Thanks for caring about our education and passing along our history. "We Freed Ourselves!!!!" Can I get an AMEN?!?!?!?!!
That would be so dope, I know a lil bit bout a lil bit but I love learning. I’m from Texas so this particular subject is widely known and celebrated here but just the wealth of knowledge and ability to teach that these two intellectuals posses is just nothing short of amazing.
I absolutely love the dialogues between the two of you. As a glutton for knowledge, I love it! Happy Juneteenth Day ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽⛓️🔗 Karen & Dr. Carr! Freedom Looks Good On You‼️
Think of how I feel.....I went to the University of Florida and the depression from being at a PWI with 12% Black was to much for me. Would be the only 1 in a lecture hall of 300 freshmen students.
I believe that the Tragedy of Mr. George Floyd will change this country. It will take blood and guts perhaps. It has changed me forever. And as a retired white asst. professor who “thought” she had the necessary tools to teach English to the black and white freshmen in college, I am ashamed of my black illiteracy when I truly thought I embodied one of the few progressives. I cannot articulate how providential I feel it is to have discovered your show Prof. Karen Hunter, just by streaming RUclips on my television! I have gained more knowledge in the last 3 ½ weeks from watching your shows than from any other source (though I am learning from as many as I can now). Thank you, and thank you to Dr. Greg Carr who astounds me with his memory and knowledge. I look forward to you every day! Happy Juneteenth!
As always and forever Dr. Carr brings it. And so does Karen Hunter. They are the teachers we need. The Ancesters will never let us down. And we must never let them down
I'm from Louisiana, born in the 70's, and we have always celebrated Juneteenth. And always celebrated Memorial day as Decoration Day...always had homecomings during this time, cleaning out the ancestral graveyard. Lots of history lessons took place and the first time I'd seen a headstone from the 1800's.
I was aware of JuneTeenth, but did not celebrate it. My consciousness was raised again when it was celebrated on Ava Duvernay’s Show Queen Sugar a few years ago. I was so impressed that they honored that day and celebrated with family and food. It’s literally our Independence Day.
Thank you so much for posting this. There are a lot of 5-10 minute clips that give a high-level overview of Juneteenth, but this gives you so much more. Really appreciate it
Dr. Carr is a National Treasure, and so are you, Karen! It fills me with so much emotion and awe to hear all of this history for the first time. Every adult and child in this country should learn from these wonderful dissertations. And Dr. Carr does it with such flair and brilliance! ♥️
Dr. Carr is a book of knowledge. I love history, but I learned on a whole other level today. If Dr. Carr's talking about the same A. Maceo Smith, he was General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. back in the 50s.
I remember celebrating Juneteenth in Milwaukee for many years and it was the best of times. Dr. Carr needs to write a history book for the classroom. I am a Black history major and am learning so many things that I did not learn in college. Thank both of you for the knowledge you share with us.
"Mystic Chords of Memory!" I love it. A Virginia story. Emancipation from American slavery is a "storied history" as is American slavery itself. But it is NOT mythology! And it is not a bedtime bible story. It is real. Thanks for going here on your series, Sister Karen!
Thanks to TMH and our ancestors, we're OVERCOMERS!! Thanks for the history lesson Dr. Carr and Karen!! Congratulations, Karen on the publication of your book!! Continue the good work of keeping our people informed!!!💕💯
Happy Juneteenth. I can’t get enough of Dr. Carr. I feel so guilty. I feel like I should be paying for this knowledge. Thank you so much Dr. Carr for sharing your knowledge I feel as though your our dorm-a.
THANK YOU Dr./Publisher Hunter for having Dr. Carr to TEACH US💝. We celebrated it & my grandmother taught us why we did-the day Slaves in Texas received notice of being freed. Dr. Carr is giving me what I need...BLACK HISTORY. And I thought I loved Dr. Marvin Dulaney's teaching, CARR IS THE TRUTH!!. THANK YOU again & keep up the GREAT WORK SISTA✊🏾💖
@@KarenHunterShow barrettstationcivicleague.org/ this is one of the stories Dr. Greg Carr was referring to. I have heard a few others since listening. www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Descendent-of-Barrett-Station-s-founder-restores-1886758.php there was a more recent story but can't locate it!
Thank you Karen for being affiliated with an Icon as Dr. Carr. Our black culture is blessed to receive wisdom & knowledgeable from this scholar Dr. Carr & Mr Roland Martin. Much respect for these 2 powerful forces. Again thank you Karen✊🏾
Did you know if Black Wall Street was a SLAVE COMMUNITY, that nasty mob would have been rounded up and executed? They destroyed a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY. The Slave Owners would never let them get away with that but in the FREE SYSTEM it's okay to do that to black people. Property is valuable, It doesn't matter if it's in things or humans, it's valuable. You think a Slave is going to be hung and the Slave Owner is not going to do anything about it?.. of course, they destroyed his property but in the FREE SYSTEM you're not property and therefore expendable and treated as such. There is a lot of lies and misinformation about Slavery. If you want your property to increase in value you're not going to damage it. What sense does that make but some people did. Some people the vast majority No. Remember, HISTORY is written by the victors.
Professor Hunter and Dr Carr, thank you both for this lecture on Black history. As a Black man living in the UK hearing these stories and linking the with George Floyd is powerful imagery. Powerful! I'll need to rewatch and take down some notes because there's so much knowledge shared, so I thank you both! Happy Juneteenth from London! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Professor Hunter for introducing Dr. Carr to those of us who didnt know him. Now i am going through RUclips for all of Dr. Carr's lectures or presentations.
Thank God for Dr. Carr and Professor Hunter for the knowledge they are dropping about our history. And about life today I could listen to you two all day. God bless you and your family's. Be safe
Karen for quite a while I've enjoyed and learned So much from You. Now You incorporate a gentleman I admire greatly. In Class with Carr is one of the most informative segment on TV. Thank You.
;~`~; I HONORABLY THANK YOU SIS-STAR HUNTER AND BROTHAR CARR; I NOW Evaluate my "Blackness" in America!! I question my Knowledge of Self and What I have not shared with my two Children of Our Ancestors anddd The Ones that are still here "doing/sharing" the Work.... ..MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT!! APPRECIATE YOUR EXAMPLES AND TRUTH CARING!! You show me that "rebellion" has nothing to do with my "progression" in America IF I cannot be a "proper" Representation of our Past to make a Better Brighter Future - MUCH RESPECT!! ASE! AMEN!
hey Dr . Karen and Dr Carr. I live in Galveston Texas & we had a great celebration on yesterday for Juneteenth. We actually covered a Confederate statue here & honored Breonna Taylor
Love, love, love this one right here. So much untold history within our black community. I heard about Juneteenth vaguely as a child. This was one date they didn't require us to remember! Every time I listen to Dr. Carr and by also doing my own research online and some in libraries which by the way am glad to see childerns books but are not enough books for adults. And because of all of this books on black history topics are almost and is sold out. That's a great thing and am glad to see it but also we should make certain that we as black people know our history equally,if not better than others! So much rich history I stumbled upon Sissieretta Jones "The Black Patti" we are everywhere can't hold us back awesome. Keep up the great videos.
Dr. Greg Carr is phenomenal, I wish I went to Howard so I could have taken his African American Studies course. I watch him every Thursday on the The Roland Martin Unfiltered channel, and he is always giving us a wealth of knowledge. The things you can learn just by listening to Dr. Carr speak is unbelievable.
Greetings Family...i was born in Jamaica, Queens...then we went to Newark...then to Nutley now in Guyana, South America for 11 years... The first time i lived out of the USA in went to Dominica...i was so excited to live with all shades of brown souls... It opened me up in ways i could not have imagined! Well African Liberation Day was coming and i was sooooo excited! I was teaching art in my studio so i had my students create all types of pieces so we could participate in the parade that would pass right in front of my studio at the same time as class! Well the students and i had a ball and the media loved us up because of all the creativity that was on display. Wellllll did i get in trouble.... I quickly found out from the parents that they Do Not associate with anything African...that is a Rasta Ting! They are not African they are Caribbean! It was such a grear lesson because i had not been exposed to the layers...much less our vast history that is constantly evolving.... Now living in the only English speaking country in South America where we have 6 races of people coexisting ... And i was told that even though i may be darker in complexion as you...i am not black because my identity is in the straightness of my hair... I am constantly learning and growing and contributing to the wave of migration....my family starting from Sumter South Carolina...Pocohontas Virginia...Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Newark New Jersey.... It is sooooo exciting to connect... ThankU for showing up!
My Sister I admire & love you both I always enjoy listening to Dr. Carr on Roland Martin unfiltered. Please continue sharing this priceless information.
I love these Master Classes. As a 48 year old educated black woman, and I am so embarrassed to admit that I did now acquire a substantial amount of knowledge of my history in school. Thank God for putting this on your heart to help educate us Ms. Karen and Dr. Carr... THANK YOU!!! As a result of your MASTER CLASS, I make sure that I sit down and share this information with my 16 year old son and my 24 year old daughter. What is sad is that I am amazed at what they don't know and they attend a predominantly black high school and college. As a parent I MUST DO BETTER! I can't expect the educational system to do what I should do at home also. Please keep this up!
I wish I knew more of Juneteenth growing up in the South, North Carolina to be exact. It was never talked about in schools and not in my home. Love ❤️ this commentary!!!🙌🏽
Very educational. I wasn't until 1990 (age 19) when I've learned about Juneteenth from an Army buddy in Fort Hood, TX. He was from Dallas and I was invited to attend a Juneteenth celebration there. Thank you for sharing.
I love these discussions! Dr. Carr is amazing and funny. The way he delivers African American history is infectious and I love his enthusiasm! I remember being a student at Howard and catching his lecture at the end right before my class was about to start. This conversation was awesome! The origins of Watch night, homecoming and family reunions are very fascinating. That’s so right about HBCU homecomings LoL
It's upsetting that there is so much history about Africans and slavery that I've never heard of (contraband camps, emancipation celebrations, the search for families) even though it's woven in throughout historical events that I have heard of. I don't understand why so much is left out of our education. It makes me that much more grateful that there are people like Karen and Dr. Carr who are sharing their knowledge of history. Thanks very much!
So grateful to have the opportunity to listen to these two brilliant people!! This week’s class helped put some of the historical pieces together for me. I was blessed to have been in an Afro American history class. The teacher in my Junior high school shared Information that the public schools left out! Nuggets like Lincoln’s actual motives during the civil war was not present in our books. I look forward to these videos every week. Thank you both so much!! Looking forward to that Watchman analysis:)❤️.
Professor Karen, thank you and may God forever bless you for all that you do, especially for providing this space, this platform! Wow!! Dr. Carr, what can I say? You truly are a national treasure!! I can listen to you for hours! Thank you! I want you both to know that I have shared this with so many of my family and friends, too.
Down in Memphis TN we had the annual Stone Soul Picnic It was billed as the universal Black Family Reunion. This was always held in June or July . Families from all around would come out to this celebratory cook out , BBQ - ribs, burgers, sausages, 🌭 dogs , pork shoulder , cole slaw, fried fish &🍝 spaghetti 🍔🍗🎂🥧 YOU NAME IT!! Music , bands, games for children, card games , dominoes , etc. At these gatherings we were able to see how deep our roots would go back & sometimes find out that friend is a distant cousin , etc. It was beautiful all of us coming together. No fights just good times! 🤗✨ Love the classes. I have been listening to the show since day when back in 2014 and I love these Saturday classes.
THANK YOU, MS. HUNTER AND DR. CARR!!! I LEARNED SOOOO MUCH TODAY!!! My daddy, rest his soul, taught us kids about Juneteenth, but we never celebrated it in Michigan. I will, from now on!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤
I'm 52 and I'm only hearing about Juneteenth now(2020). I didn't grow up the states but anyway. And watch night, hearing about that now, with this video.
Yes, Yes, Yes my mother went to homecoming every year like clockwork went to Dallas, TX.She always talk about watch night. Phew that just hit my spirit.
Just as you Ms Hunter, I didn’t have any idea about Juneteenth until my 30s.. I was just able to watch today after finding your channel yesterday while watching Roland Martin.. Glad I found this channel.. You and Dr. Carr are amazing.. Thank you for using your plate form to educate individuals like myself.. Gives me the chance to know actual History!
Thank you both so much for all the rich lessons you are feeding us! I'm Caribbean-Canadian living in the US...I still have so much to learn but I'm SOAKING IT ALL IN
I am 55 born raised in Chicago just learned about Juneteenth from you Ms Hunter. I learned about your shoe from my son who listens to you on the radio. Found you on tube immensely enjoy your show. You and Dr Carr awesome. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lear iam in class now. Bless you Sister.
Dr. Carr I am so glad that the young lady that is your co-host during Covid-19 has said that she and her family did not celebrate Juneteenth. I am a fifth generation Texan and my Father was a World War II veteran who went into the war, he was a native-born Texan I was not even thought about being born. I was born after he came back from World War II. My grandparents raised me because when he came back from World War II that's when I was born so I'm a baby -boomer, me and my grandparents never did celebrate Juneteenth and they even said it and I think it's because of Racism they had experience and I grew up in a Christian home, but my Mother was a bar owner because my Father had made a lot of money after the war and he was able to put her into your own business on Galveston Island, a lot of the GI's were loaded with money who were Black and they came back to live on Galveston Island. I lived in an all-Black neighborhood where all the men on the Block were WWII Veterans, can you imagine that and I grew up not in the hood, but in an upper middle class Black neighborhood because when every man is working and he owns property and real estate and has money in the bank and that makes a good neighborhood, no such thing of Drug dealers, all the men went to Church on Sundays, so I think that it has something to do with my Grandparents who had lived through a lot of Racism as well as my Parents did not want to even Celebrate something that had anything to do with Slavery ,but they are all dead and buried on Galveston Island and I'm very proud of my Heritage as far as a Black American in America and also in War because not only did my Father fight in World War II my Great uncle on my Grandmother's side fought in World War II and then my Uncle Joe who is my Grandfather's brother he also fought in World War 1 so I mean, I came from a family of people who fought in the US Jim Crow Military and people who were nurses and I am mixed up myself right now! I'm a Senior citizen and I had to actually move 2 years ago from Texas because I had been driving for Uber and Lyft when it was still respectable and not all the crime. I now live in Atlanta Georgia and I'm experiencing some of the worst Racism that I've ever seen or experienced in my life to Black men who have been actually been lynched in a modern-day fashion! I think because my Grandparents and my parents that seems so much racism they filled me with a lot of love and didn't even discuss things about hating people and they always say that Black people are so forgiving, but after seeing George Floyd actually killed on TV put a bit of bitterness in my heart but when you're raised in a Christian way you can't Hate! I don't hate but now I know what Black people have actually experienced in this country and I'm Black so there are so many Blacks who were raised in a different type of household and religions and income status or socioeconomic status that don't know what other Blacks have had to endure in America and I'm one of them I'm a Senior, but I'm more educated than most Seniors around here where I live in Atlanta, GA. I have better health than a lot of Seniors and I still work I'm very technically literate as far as computers and Technology and I'm very proud that I am, but right now I can see that the Blacks in this country or actually hurting, but guess what I have been protesting right here in Atlanta and I'm a senior citizen and working at Fulton County Elections, but I'm healthy enough I'm well enough and I am passionate enough for the cause of change. I can say that the young Black people have really showed up and showed out, the only thing is that I found out that this Black lives matters is ran by George Soros and it's got a transgender and alternative lifestyle agenda and that bothers me! But, anyway all of my family is very on Galveston Island going all the way back to my great-grandmother who was living there in the 1850s I'll be up there once so my all of my history is actually in Texas but I love Atlanta this is the home of the civil rights movement and I've met some really nice people here but the black's that I live around right now are not very Progressive because they're sick they don't have covid-19, but they are not in good health I'm one of the healthiest Seniors who lives in this building. I drive I go to work everyday. I pray a lot, there are a lot of shootings of Blacks killing Blacks in Atlanta, GA unfortunately!
Thank you so much for these videos. This is precious. I grew up in a time when Black History (the real) was not taught in school. For me, this is the essence of YT I get to learn my Black History from top scholars. when I couldn't go a university.
Yes! I love when you have Dr.Carr on. I am ready for class. I have my pen and pad ready to take notes. It is time for class so I can educate myself and everyone else!❤️❤️
Thank you Dr. Karr and Ms. Karen Hunter. I stopped going to Watch Night service after my college days because I got busy. You have provided food for thought and I will do much better from now on about attending. I'm a product of the AME teachings and I attend an AME church. It put a smile on my face when my denomination was mentioned. Be blessed!
Happy Juneteenth! Karen and Doctor Carr; Thank you for the education you impart. I believe your show should be watched in every school and be mandatory. I came to this country 31 years ago and I learned about Juneteenth a few weeks ago...
@@KarenHunterShow Thank you both so very much for sharing Our History. We need to know everything. Karen, I love your show and all your colleagues on SiriusXm 126!
I'm so appreciative for the knowledge being shared. Dr Carr is definitely a valued griot right now. We need these classes. Please talk about the original melanated people who were in the US way before Columbus from Africa, including the Olmecs. I had 3 strokes, so the words sometimes and names dissappear, but the tribes who lived in old Mexico (before they stole the land). I read those people were along with the natives who were stolen and slaved. Forgive my cloudiness, it saddens me to have lost pieces of our knowledge. Please enlighten me.
I love this segment of your show. I originally first saw Dr Carr on Roland Martins show. I love to see his passion on your show as he teaches us about our history. Thank you both and continued success for the knowledge you’ve shared.
When Dr. Carr said that ex-slaves started to go looking for their families after they left the plantations just broke my heart. The notion of seeing your children, your mother, your father, your husband or wife sold off like a sack of grain is simply unconscionable.

I wish Mr Carr and Ms Karen Hunter will do a class on zoom for people that want to learn!
We are discussing how. I JUST started using Zoom a couple of months ago and have to figure out how to invite a million people...LOL!
Karen Hunter Show they may not let you lol. But, make a sign up for those days and share it. It may be that you’re only able to hold 250-500 people. But, my advice is to schedule several “classes” and have our people sign up!
I would pay for a class like this from Ms. Hunter and Dr. Carr. Thanks for caring about our education and passing along our history. "We Freed Ourselves!!!!" Can I get an AMEN?!?!?!?!!

Hi Ms. Karen. Please ask Dr. Carr if you can cover the history of Fraternities and Sorrorities?
I remember celebrating Juneteenth in Milwaukee for many years and it was the best of times. Dr. Carr needs to write a history book for the classroom. I am a Black history major and am learning so many things that I did not learn in college. Thank both of you for the knowledge you share with us.

the only guilt should come from not wanting to know...
I’ve watched this twice already because I can’t get enough of all the knowledge from Professor Carr. He’s dropping gems!
Yes Karen I watched this clip and it’s excellent. Dr. Carr is so wonderful, he has so much knowledge.
Houston celebrated Juneteenth, like Christmas, and Thanksgiving in most of the black community's back in the day.
THANK YOU Dr./Publisher Hunter for having Dr. Carr to TEACH US💝. We celebrated it & my grandmother taught us why we did-the day Slaves in Texas received notice of being freed.

Thank you for letting us know that, Melvin. We just started chatting one Saturday and it turned into this.
Dr. Carr needs a Zoom weekly zoom class to teach us our history. I would join for sure.
I will be in front row.
So... Juneteenth is a celebration of the knowledge of knowledge of when our pursuit of freedom began ; we are still being freed.
I hope and pray that we get to experience true freedom in our lifetime 🙏 it does look so promising at this time.
Yes, please!

I don’t know how this GREAT TEACHER does it!!!...I wish I could sit and talk to the great Dr Carr for hours! God Bless you sir!!!
Professor Hunter and Dr Carr, thank you both for this lecture on Black history. As a Black man living in the UK hearing these stories and linking the with George Floyd is powerful imagery. Powerful!
I'll need to rewatch and take down some notes because there's so much knowledge shared, so I thank you both!
Happy Juneteenth from London!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love it! Happy Freedom Day from across the pond, Az!
Thank you Professor Hunter for introducing Dr. Carr to those of us who didnt know him. Now i am going through RUclips for all of Dr. Carr's lectures or presentations.
Thank God for Dr. Carr and Professor Hunter for the knowledge they are dropping about our history. And about life today I could listen to you two all day. God bless you and your family's. Be safe
Karen for quite a while I've enjoyed and learned So much from You. Now You incorporate a gentleman I admire greatly. In Class with Carr is one of the most informative segment on TV.
Thank You.
Wow, thank you!
;~`~; I HONORABLY THANK YOU SIS-STAR HUNTER AND BROTHAR CARR; I NOW Evaluate my "Blackness" in America!! I question my Knowledge of Self and What I have not shared with my two Children of Our Ancestors anddd The Ones that are still here "doing/sharing" the Work.... ..MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT!! APPRECIATE YOUR EXAMPLES AND TRUTH CARING!! You show me that "rebellion" has nothing to do with my "progression" in America IF I cannot be a "proper" Representation of our Past to make a Better Brighter Future - MUCH RESPECT!! ASE! AMEN!
All I can do is listen to our story and smile. We are so great.
U two should have a talk show I love the knowledge spread in all of the discussions u have
what do you think this is? LOL!
hey Dr . Karen and Dr Carr.
I live in Galveston Texas & we had a great celebration on yesterday for Juneteenth.
We actually covered a Confederate statue here & honored Breonna Taylor
I love Dr. Carr! Thankful for my HU experience
Me too!
Love, love, love this one right here. So much untold history within our black community. I heard about Juneteenth vaguely as a child. This was one date they didn't require us to remember! Every time I listen to Dr. Carr and by also doing my own research online and some in libraries which by the way am glad to see childerns books but are not enough books for adults. And because of all of this books on black history topics are almost and is sold out. That's a great thing and am glad to see it but also we should make certain that we as black people know our history equally,if not better than others! So much rich history I stumbled upon Sissieretta Jones "The Black Patti" we are everywhere can't hold us back awesome. Keep up the great videos.
Dr. Greg Carr is phenomenal, I wish I went to Howard so I could have taken his African American Studies course. I watch him every Thursday on the The Roland Martin Unfiltered channel, and he is always giving us a wealth of knowledge. The things you can learn just by listening to Dr. Carr speak is unbelievable.
Howard. Not Harvard.
@@KarenHunterShowThat was the auto correct, I know he teaches at Howard. Thank you for catching it.
You guys are phenomenal. I absolutely love this show.
Thank you, Q!
Greetings Family...i was born in Jamaica, Queens...then we went to Newark...then to Nutley now in Guyana, South America for 11 years...
The first time i lived out of the USA in went to Dominica...i was so excited to live with all shades of brown souls...
It opened me up in ways i could not have imagined!
Well African Liberation Day was coming and i was sooooo excited!
I was teaching art in my studio so i had my students create all types of pieces so we could participate in the parade that would pass right in front of my studio at the same time as class!
Well the students and i had a ball and the media loved us up because of all the creativity that was on display.
Wellllll did i get in trouble....
I quickly found out from the parents that they Do Not associate with anything African...that is a Rasta Ting!
They are not African they are Caribbean! It was such a grear lesson because i had not been exposed to the layers...much less our vast history that is constantly evolving....
Now living in the only English speaking country in South America where we have 6 races of people coexisting ...
And i was told that even though i may be darker in complexion as you...i am not black because my identity is in the straightness of my hair...
I am constantly learning and growing and contributing to the wave of migration....my family starting from Sumter South Carolina...Pocohontas Virginia...Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Newark New Jersey....
It is sooooo exciting to connect...
ThankU for showing up!
I love Dr. Carr! Always bringing knowledge! 👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾
Me too!!
I am a history buff! This class takes my breath away! Dr. Carr is a weath of knowledge! I am like a sponge! Thank you Karen for this class ❤️
You are so welcome!
My Sister I admire & love you both I always enjoy listening to Dr. Carr on Roland Martin unfiltered. Please continue sharing this priceless information.
I love these Master Classes. As a 48 year old educated black woman, and I am so embarrassed to admit that I did now acquire a substantial amount of knowledge of my history in school. Thank God for putting this on your heart to help educate us Ms. Karen and Dr. Carr... THANK YOU!!! As a result of your MASTER CLASS, I make sure that I sit down and share this information with my 16 year old son and my 24 year old daughter. What is sad is that I am amazed at what they don't know and they attend a predominantly black high school and college. As a parent I MUST DO BETTER! I can't expect the educational system to do what I should do at home also. Please keep this up!
I am always in awe how much Dr. Carr knows and has at his fingertips. Memory. Scholarship...
The song “Yellow Rose Of Texas” was written for one of my grandfather’s great grandmothers. According to him she was a quadroon.
wow! Dr. Carr and I were talking about how so many people add to our discussions...filling in the history. thank you for this.
Whoa!! Ive heard that rumor before. Im in texas
It was written for a light skinned women... FACTS... You can look it up and there it is !!!
True Truth!
What does a quadroon is??? School 🏫. me please??
I love Class w/Carr!
Take us back to school 💙💙🙋🏾♀️👐🏾
I cannot thank you enough for this series of courses available on RUclips for all peoples.
May God continue to bless both of you, beyond your imaginations.❤
I wish I knew more of Juneteenth growing up in the South, North Carolina to be exact. It was never talked about in schools and not in my home. Love ❤️ this commentary!!!🙌🏽
Very educational. I wasn't until 1990 (age 19) when I've learned about Juneteenth from an Army buddy in Fort Hood, TX. He was from Dallas and I was invited to attend a Juneteenth celebration there. Thank you for sharing.
Carr is an African Treasure!
Yes, he is!
Manifest Freedom.
Yasss Professor Karen.💜
I love these discussions! Dr. Carr is amazing and funny. The way he delivers African American history is infectious and I love his enthusiasm! I remember being a student at Howard and catching his lecture at the end right before my class was about to start. This conversation was awesome! The origins of Watch night, homecoming and family reunions are very fascinating. That’s so right about HBCU homecomings LoL
I love my black people. Thank you Professor Karen for your platform.
My absolute pleasure!
I grew up in Texas and have celebrated Juneteenth since I was a young.
Professor Hunter is a genius. I love her profound knowledge on black issues.
WE LOVE YOU QUEEN KAREN💓💕. THANK YOU FOR THE GREATNESS THAT YOU DO👑☀️💛💫🌟👑☀️💛💫🌟
Happy JuneTeenth! ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦
YES! Thank you!
Karen Hunter Show ❤️🤗
It's upsetting that there is so much history about Africans and slavery that I've never heard of (contraband camps, emancipation celebrations, the search for families) even though it's woven in throughout historical events that I have heard of. I don't understand why so much is left out of our education. It makes me that much more grateful that there are people like Karen and Dr. Carr who are sharing their knowledge of history. Thanks very much!
This is real teaching tape..Dr. Carr is one of the greatest professors in America,bar none..
I LOVE THAT WE ARE STILL HAVING THIS LESSON
THANK YOU BOTH!
Wow this session hits home! I’m from Houston. Great to hear history of Yates! ❤️❤️❤️ Dr. Carr is just amazing!
So grateful to have the opportunity to listen to these two brilliant people!! This week’s class helped put some of the historical pieces together for me. I was blessed to have been in an Afro American history class. The teacher in my Junior high school shared Information that the public schools left out! Nuggets like Lincoln’s actual motives during the civil war was not present in our books. I look forward to these videos every week. Thank you both so much!! Looking forward to that Watchman analysis:)❤️.
Professor Karen, thank you and may God forever bless you for all that you do, especially for providing this space, this platform! Wow!! Dr. Carr, what can I say? You truly are a national treasure!! I can listen to you for hours! Thank you! I want you both to know that I have shared this with so many of my family and friends, too.
thank you! I receive that.
Observe the excellence. Thank you Sir and Madam
You are most welcome
Down in Memphis TN we had the annual Stone Soul Picnic
It was billed as the universal Black Family Reunion. This was always held in June or July .
Families from all around would come out to this celebratory cook out , BBQ - ribs, burgers, sausages, 🌭 dogs , pork shoulder , cole slaw, fried fish &🍝 spaghetti 🍔🍗🎂🥧 YOU NAME IT!! Music , bands, games for children, card games , dominoes , etc.
At these gatherings we were able to see how deep our roots would go back & sometimes find out that friend is a distant cousin , etc. It was beautiful all of us coming together.
No fights just good times! 🤗✨
Love the classes. I have been listening to the show since day when back in 2014 and I love these Saturday classes.
Knowledge is king and I learn from these types of conversations
THANK YOU, MS. HUNTER AND DR. CARR!!! I LEARNED SOOOO MUCH TODAY!!! My daddy, rest his soul, taught us kids about Juneteenth, but we never celebrated it in Michigan. I will, from now on!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤
That cannot be you in that picture you are scorchin hot.
DOPE!
I'm 52 and I'm only hearing about Juneteenth now(2020). I didn't grow up the states but anyway. And watch night, hearing about that now, with this video.
Yes, Yes, Yes my mother went to homecoming every year like clockwork went to Dallas, TX.She always talk about watch night. Phew that just hit my spirit.
Dr Carr, have you checked your ancestory? You look so much like a Yoruba uncle.
I am hooked on this channel!
Just as you Ms Hunter, I didn’t have any idea about Juneteenth until my 30s.. I was just able to watch today after finding your channel yesterday while watching Roland Martin.. Glad I found this channel.. You and Dr. Carr are amazing.. Thank you for using your plate form to educate individuals like myself.. Gives me the chance to know actual History!
Karen, I love you. What a true Queen of African descent🥰
thank you, Cozi!
I could listen to Dr. Carr all day!
me too!
Doing God's work, educating the masses!
We do our family Homecoming in August (NC & SC). Happy Juneteenth Day! Remember the Ancestors 💜
Thank you both so much for all the rich lessons you are feeding us! I'm Caribbean-Canadian living in the US...I still have so much to learn but I'm SOAKING IT ALL IN
I am 55 born raised in Chicago just learned about Juneteenth from you Ms Hunter. I learned about your shoe from my son who listens to you on the radio. Found you on tube immensely enjoy your show. You and Dr Carr awesome. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lear iam in class now. Bless you Sister.
Our pleasure, Ann!
Dr. Carr I am so glad that the young lady that is your co-host during Covid-19 has said that she and her family did not celebrate Juneteenth. I am a fifth generation Texan and my Father was a World War II veteran who went into the war, he was a native-born Texan I was not even thought about being born. I was born after he came back from World War II. My grandparents raised me because when he came back from World War II that's when I was born so I'm a baby -boomer, me and my grandparents never did celebrate Juneteenth and they even said it and I think it's because of Racism they had experience and I grew up in a Christian home, but my Mother was a bar owner because my Father had made a lot of money after the war and he was able to put her into your own business on Galveston Island, a lot of the GI's were loaded with money who were Black and they came back to live on Galveston Island. I lived in an all-Black neighborhood where all the men on the Block were WWII Veterans, can you imagine that and I grew up not in the hood, but in an upper middle class Black neighborhood because when every man is working and he owns property and real estate and has money in the bank and that makes a good neighborhood, no such thing of Drug dealers, all the men went to Church on Sundays, so I think that it has something to do with my Grandparents who had lived through a lot of Racism as well as my Parents did not want to even Celebrate something that had anything to do with Slavery ,but they are all dead and buried on Galveston Island and I'm very proud of my Heritage as far as a Black American in America and also in War because not only did my Father fight in World War II my Great uncle on my Grandmother's side fought in World War II and then my Uncle Joe who is my Grandfather's brother he also fought in World War 1 so I mean, I came from a family of people who fought in the US Jim Crow Military and people who were nurses and I am mixed up myself right now! I'm a Senior citizen and I had to actually move 2 years ago from Texas because I had been driving for Uber and Lyft when it was still respectable and not all the crime. I now live in Atlanta Georgia and I'm experiencing some of the worst Racism that I've ever seen or experienced in my life to Black men who have been actually been lynched in a modern-day fashion! I think because my Grandparents and my parents that seems so much racism they filled me with a lot of love and didn't even discuss things about hating people and they always say that Black people are so forgiving, but after seeing George Floyd actually killed on TV put a bit of bitterness in my heart but when you're raised in a Christian way you can't Hate! I don't hate but now I know what Black people have actually experienced in this country and I'm Black so there are so many Blacks who were raised in a different type of household and religions and income status or socioeconomic status that don't know what other Blacks have had to endure in America and I'm one of them I'm a Senior, but I'm more educated than most Seniors around here where I live in Atlanta, GA. I have better health than a lot of Seniors and I still work I'm very technically literate as far as computers and Technology and I'm very proud that I am, but right now I can see that the Blacks in this country or actually hurting, but guess what I have been protesting right here in Atlanta and I'm a senior citizen and working at Fulton County Elections, but I'm healthy enough I'm well enough and I am passionate enough for the cause of change. I can say that the young Black people have really showed up and showed out, the only thing is that I found out that this Black lives matters is ran by George Soros and it's got a transgender and alternative lifestyle agenda and that bothers me! But, anyway all of my family is very on Galveston Island going all the way back to my great-grandmother who was living there in the 1850s I'll be up there once so my all of my history is actually in Texas but I love Atlanta this is the home of the civil rights movement and I've met some really nice people here but the black's that I live around right now are not very Progressive because they're sick they don't have covid-19, but they are not in good health I'm one of the healthiest Seniors who lives in this building. I drive I go to work everyday. I pray a lot, there are a lot of shootings of Blacks killing Blacks in Atlanta, GA unfortunately!
Thank you so much for these videos. This is precious. I grew up in a time when Black History (the real) was not taught in school. For me, this is the essence of YT I get to learn my Black History from top scholars. when I couldn't go a university.
Yes! I love when you have Dr.Carr on. I am ready for class. I have my pen and pad ready to take notes. It is time for class so I can educate myself and everyone else!❤️❤️
Thank you Dr. Karr and Ms. Karen Hunter. I stopped going to Watch Night service after my college days because I got busy. You have provided food for thought and I will do much better from now on about attending.
I'm a product of the AME teachings and I attend an AME church. It put a smile on my face when my denomination was mentioned.
Be blessed!
Great conversation I look forward for this weekly conversation Don't Stop it's needed for our community
Happy Juneteenth! Karen and Doctor Carr; Thank you for the education you impart. I believe your show should be watched in every school and be mandatory. I came to this country 31 years ago and I learned about Juneteenth a few weeks ago...
You are so welcome! Happy Freedom Day to you!
@@KarenHunterShow
Thank you both so very much for sharing Our History. We need to know everything. Karen, I love your show and all your colleagues on SiriusXm 126!
Family reunions! Omg, I can just cry right now. The dots are being connected.❤ This is amazing.
Thank you! Thank you!! I love listening to You and Dr Carr. I have learned more about my history in these segments than I have in 52 years!!
Wow, thank you!
I'm so appreciative for the knowledge being shared. Dr Carr is definitely a valued griot right now. We need these classes.
Please talk about the original melanated people who were in the US way before Columbus from Africa, including the Olmecs. I had 3 strokes, so the words sometimes and names dissappear, but the tribes who lived in old Mexico (before they stole the land). I read those people were along with the natives who were stolen and slaved.
Forgive my cloudiness, it saddens me to have lost pieces of our knowledge.
Please enlighten me.
I love this segment of your show. I originally first saw Dr Carr on Roland Martins show. I love to see his passion on your show as he teaches us about our history. Thank you both and continued success for the knowledge you’ve shared.
Our pleasure!
